An interview.

Now don't get your hopes up......it's not what you think.......No, this was the interview I have to have for the New Start application I have put in.I set my alarm for 7.45 am as I had a text saying they would ring between 8.00am and 8.30 am.'Make sure your phone is fully charged. The phone call can last up to 30 minutes' it said.Just before 8.00 am I had a panic attack about how to answer a call on my phone. Did I swipe left or right when the call came through? I asked Will in a panic what to do.....it was 7.59 am.Suddenly my phone started to ring.......Eek! I swiped right and said "hello?"There was a beep and the phone went dead."Aaaagh!" I cried, "Nooooooo!""It was me!" said Will, " I rang you.....you were right. You swipe right.""Oh, I thought it was them," I said relieved.They rang at 8.20. What could possibly take 30 minutes?..... I was wondering.They checked my date of birth and address, asked if I had worked in the last 2 years apart from the 'caring', asked what my highest qualification was. Could I read and write English?They asked some 'optional' questions; Did I have any disabilities/illnesses that would prevent me from working? Had I been in jail in the last 7 years?How old was I?......it turns out if you are over 55 you are only required to work part time.......Damn!"I need to make you an appointment now to see someone who can help you with your CV, applications and interview technique. Can you go this afternoon?""Oh...." I didn't want to.We were going to go up to Frogknot after the phone call. "Er........""What about tomorrow?" She noted my  hesitation."I was thinking sometime next week?" I said."The latest I can do is Monday," she said."Fine," I said, relieved.She gave me the address of where to go on Monday."We have  until the 27th November to process your payment but seeing as you have just come off another payment you may get paid sooner. Keep checking your account."......and that was it. It was less than 10 minutes!It's official......I am a 'bludger!'
